First Alert WX-167 manual Handicapped Accessories Appendix B

Notes and Tips - Appendix A

Setting Daylight Saving - This setting allows the radio to convert UTC time used by NOAA to your local time of day. It does not automatically set your clock to adjust for daylight savings time. Be sure to set the daylight savings time to ON and OFF in accordance with time changes in your area.

Note: The WX-167 will automatically notify you if it has not received a test message in the previous 10 days, by lighting all four LED indicators and displaying “10 DAY ALERT SENTRY” on the LCD screen.

CAUTION!

Storm front activity can continue even though the alert’s effective time has expired. The end of an alert does not mean that the related emergency is over.

Note: Time keeping functions will be lost and the clock will not reset to the correct time if AC power is disconnected from the unit and there is no battery back-up power. To reset the clock upon restoring power, follow the Clock/ Calendar setting instuctions on pages 11-12.

Note: For best reception, lift up the built-in telescopic antenna and fully extend it vertically. The channel that gives you the best reception may not be the one that broadcasts weather information for your own location or county. If you can’t get good reception either move the radio or use an external antenna
